And then a nuclear explosion happens... (c) try to prove me wrong :)

Dragon scales have a mirrored surface, so the laser will reflect.
Does every dragon really have mirrored scales? Even a black dragon? :)
WisTrit
Why is that? It has quite specific properties.
The authors are not involved here; we're just discussing the facts.
Even if a dragon's scales are very shiny, its reflection coefficient might not be enough to avoid the damaging thermal effect of the laser ;)
Revan
I'll repeat again: A mirror won't protect you from a laser.
Why is that? If that were the case, then, for example, a mirror left in the sun would heat up...
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
